It's looking like Mason Foster might have a shot to play against the New Orleans Saints. The Bucs' middle had limited participation for the second consecutive day, and if he can handle a full workload tomorrow it seems likely that he'll start over Dane Fletcher on Sunday. Fletcher has struggled as Foster's replacement, both in the run and pass game.
However, the Bucs will almost certainly have to play without Dashon Goldson, who missed his second consecutive day of practice, as was also the case for Josh McCown.Mike Evans and Larry English are likewise unlikely to suit up on Sunday.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins and Michael Johnson both practiced on a limited basis today, as both are managing ankle sprains. They should be good to go for Sunday's matchup.While Johnthan Banks was absent today, that was for personal reason, Lovie Smith noted in today's press conference.
For the Saints, Erik Lorig, Mark Ingram and center Johnathan Goodwin have missed all of this week's practice, which means they're probably not going to suit up on Sunday.
